| IFLA Survey of the Profession |
|
A reminder for practitioners of Landscape Architecture all around the world to complete the survey.
It will be open until November 6th 2022.
In partnership with the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB), IFLA is launching a survey of practice with the aims of better understanding the practice of landscape architecture around the globe. By identifying similarities and differences in practice regionally and by country, the project seeks to expand the role, definition, and mobility of the landscape architect as well as understand how changes in practice, such as the response climate change, have forced the profession to evolve.
